1. On a standard car use proper seam sealant on all exposed seams before final painting (so over primer)
2. Use an anti chip coating for all areas exposed to direct contact with road debris.
3. Can't advise on products as the local supplier I use won't be available in the UK.
4. I always seal some of the visible seams with black sealant. No chance of cracking paint and looks much neater i.m.h.o.

Beans,

That is a really good idea. That seam between the front wing and headlight panel can be a problem area!
